ATMA means soul. And Apostolis Thymiopoulos has repeatedly demonstrated that he has plenty. His wines too. After the great success and world-wide recognition, he devoted himself to one «project» as he calls it, only for the international markets. A new series of experimental wines from special and original blends.
What is original about ATMA Red 2021? His favorite Xinomavro, the leading Greek variety and the pride of Naoussa, met Mandilaria cultivated in the lava land of Santorini. Definitely not your every day blend. Difficult, recalcitrant and grumpy varieties, both with a strong tannic structure, they have us accustomed to waiting for years (perhaps decades) in the barrels and the bottle before softening enough and eventually becoming enjoyable to our palate.
ATMA Red comes from the harvest of 2021. The label says "smooth and fruity." Is it ever possible?
Apostolis Thymiopoulos, leader of the Garage Wines of Bordeaux trend in Greece, changes everything with a wine that although fresh and unoaked, it features unique finesse, freshness and fruity character.
Fortunately he decided to leave a few bottles of ATMA red in Greece. The first ones are here!
